PM - had a nice longer run this afternoon. Bit cool with a breeze, but bright sunshine. Covered about 13.5 miles. Used the jacuzzi tub in my house for the first time after a run. Left foot was sore/painful yesterday and so I took a couple Aleeve which eliminated the discomfort; no noticable pain during the run today, but feels like I have a stress injury developing there now that I have had a hour or two since the run. Will try a new pair of shoes tomorrow or the next day...otherwise I may need to switch to cross training for a while.

Bummer. Hope it's not that serious.

Yeah me too. I think it is early stages - if I were to continue to train with the same volume and frequency it may progressively worsen. Having had a couple of these - I recognize the symptoms. I think it would be classified as a stress reaction. Lots of reading on this suggests a bit of rest - non-weight bearing cross training. Fortunately I bought an indoor water-rower/trainer over the summer in case of these types of issues.
